Canglan stared intently at Luo Jiaqi's stomach, and Luo Jiaqi couldn't help but take a step back.
Finally, Canglan raised his eyes and looked at Luo Jiaqi with an expressionless gaze, at the lover he had once loved so deeply.
"How many months old is the baby?" His voice was a little hoarse, with an unusual calmness.
"More than five months!" Luo Jiaqi blurted out without thinking, then subconsciously looked at her bulging pregnant belly.
"Heh! Heh heh!" Canglan couldn't help but sneer. He really didn't know whether to laugh at his lover for being too cold-hearted or to mock himself for being too foolish.
He had only been away from H country for a total of ten months, and he had been trapped by zombies for at most half a year.
Luo Jiaqi's baby is already five months old.
In other words, the moment he was trapped in City A, she had already abandoned their promise without hesitation, quickly sharing a bed with a stranger and becoming pregnant.
What about unwavering devotion until death? What about vows of eternal love? They were nothing but a joke.
“Cangnan, you…” Luo Jiaqi was at a loss.
"You really can't wait!" Canglan looked directly into Luo Jiaqi's eyes without any hesitation.
Luo Jiaqi understood the meaning behind Canglan's words, and her face turned from red to white, and then from white to green.
"Cangnan, let me explain. It's all a misunderstanding. I really thought you were gone. My mother persuaded me, saying that you probably wouldn't come back. She said that you love me so much, you shouldn't be alone in the future, and she hoped that I would be alone in the future. That's why I... Cangnan, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" Luo Jiaqi explained anxiously, but the more she explained, the worse it got.
"Cang Nan, you once said that you wanted me to be happy, so please, can you bless me?" Luo Jiaqi pleaded. After all, she and Cang Lan had truly loved each other, and she didn't want him to harbor resentment towards her.
"Heh!" Canglan ignored her, instead taking out his phone from his pocket and dialing that familiar number.
Luo Jiaqi was still processing Cang Nan's actions when her phone suddenly rang.
She took out her phone and saw that it was Cang Nan. Her face turned deathly pale instantly.
"Cangnan, um, I'm sorry..."
He always thought he couldn't contact her because she had lost her phone, or for some other reason.
It turned out that she didn't want to contact him at all. He recalled the countless times he had dialed her number during those agonizing nights, and now he only felt ironic.
"Cang Nan, let me explain. It's not that I don't want to contact you, but I also have my own difficulties." Luo Jiaqi touched her stomach.
"What unspeakable secret! What unspeakable secret? Are you busy having secret rendezvous with other men, making love, or busy accepting marriage proposals from other men and preparing for weddings with other men!" Canglan didn't know whether to be angry or to smile bitterly.
"Cang Nan, is it necessary to be so harsh? Jiaqi isn't that kind of person. If you hadn't suddenly disappeared, how could what happened have occurred? I know you can't accept it, but you're the root of all this!" Zhou Xiaofu couldn't stand it anymore and quickly spoke up for Luo Jiaqi.
“That’s right, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have presumptuously barged into your high and mighty world.” Canglan took a deep breath.
"Besides, isn't the evidence right in front of us whether Luo Jiaqi is that kind of person?" Canglan coldly stared at Luo Jiaqi's stomach.
"Canglan, I never knew you were such a unreasonable person. Jiaqi and you are only engaged, not married. She naturally has the right to choose. It is perfectly reasonable for her to choose someone else now. Why are you talking as if she owes you something?" Zhou Xiaofu continued to press aggressively.
Canglan chuckled coldly, then strode away from the scene.
“That’s right! Shameless people certainly don’t think they’ve done anything wrong. Luo Jiaqi, from today onwards, you two are no longer friends.”
Zhou Xiaofu breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Canglan leave. Fortunately, Canglan hadn't done anything too extreme, otherwise Jiaqi, who was pregnant, would have been in danger.
As for Canglan, he walked until he was in a deserted place before collapsing to the ground in despair.
Although he seemed very tough just now, it was all an act, and now he finally couldn't hold on any longer.
He now feels like a joke. He and Luo Jiaqi have been together for ten years, and because she insisted on remaining chaste, he has never touched her.
But with other people, in just a few short months, she had already turned her life around.
He slumped to the ground, a brightly colored snake slithered past him, but he didn't react at all. From that moment on, his heart was broken.
If he could choose again, he would rather not have returned to H country, so that at least he could still have some good memories.
He didn't know how long he sat on the grass; even as the city lights began to come on, he was still lost in thought.
Suddenly, the phone rang, displaying a familiar number—it was Qian Zhenghao.
He had contacted Qian Zhenghao when he was in City A.
He initially wanted to hang up, but remembering that the other person had helped him before, he answered the call anyway.
"Hey! Cangnan, I heard from Mr. Li that you've returned to H country, is that right?" Qian Zhenghao had just received a call from Li Churan, asking him to look after Canglan.
"Yes! I'm back!" Canglan's voice was full of despair.
"Have you found your fiancée?" Qian Zhenghao asked tentatively, clearly knowing something.
"Found her! She's married to someone else! And she's pregnant!" Canglan threw the engagement ring she was holding into the moat.
Qian Zhenghao was silent for a moment, then asked, "So what are you planning to do next?"
"I don't know either. Is there anywhere left for me in H country?" Canglan said with a self-deprecating smile. He came to H country for Jiaqi, but now even that only direction is gone.
"If you don't have anywhere else to go, why don't you come to my place first? Where are you? I'll come pick you up now!" Qian Zhenghao sighed softly.
"I'm..." Canglan hesitated for a moment, but still told Qian Zhenghao his current location.
Thirty minutes later, a Cadillac appeared in front of Canglan, and a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a dignified appearance and a rather shrewd and capable look, stepped out.
"You must be from Cangnan! I'm Qian Zhenghao. I've already heard about what happened to you. Get in the car first!"
Canglan got into the car, and 30 minutes later, the car stopped in front of a rather quiet-looking apartment building.
Canglan followed Qian Zhenghao upstairs, one after the other.
